Probably a BBC mandate to say that, because the Beeb themselves want to erase that theory with The War Games in Colour.
Ahh, such a tragicomic story. But it’s good to hear that we could get more Rani! (I was going to page @sircarolyn, but she made it here just before I was done writing this post) and hoping BF gets the green light to use the Archite Panjabi version soon!
They laugh because they know it’s true…
How many peoppe can say that they released a new website in their 90s? That’s wild! Respect to the GOAT!
It’s not actually @ItsR0b0tNinja doing these. They are compiled by a user over on Reddit, and she has the permission to bring them over here, so she just copy-pastes them as is
Not really anything Doctor Who related this week, though one listener asked why the Star Cops range is moving to download only when the range has previously had CDs available. Nick understands the issue and apologizes, but forgoing the physical release lets them actually fund the project. So something like this could eventually happen to some Doctor Who ranges, and in fact already has with UNIT: Brave New World.
The Seventh Doctor Adventures: Past Forward is released, featuring the departure of Harry Sullivan and Naomi Cross, the arrival of Ray, and a chess set with pieces made of a very particular kind of stone…
The Paul Spragg Memorial Short Trip Opportunity has closed.

The Doctor Who Monthly Adventures subscriptions will no longer be available after 30 June. While far less relevant since the range ended 4 years ago, it’s continued to be a good way to get bundles of audios at cheaper prices. Plus, certain subscriptions get you exclusive releases. So if you have any interest, act now.
Ending these aforementioned subscriptions is part of a larger initiative of Big Finish’s to change their bundles and offer a more flexible experience of saving money when ordering from their website.
I would assume these changes will largely be in line with what the failed website tried to implement, which gave you tiered discounts based on how many future releases you order (2 for 10% off, 3 for 15%, etc.)

What Big Finish I Was Listening to This Week: Finished the new Fourth Doctor Adventures, and as has been typical for the range recently I wasn’t very impressed. The Seventh Doctor Adventures: Past Forward, on the other hand…just wow. A definite contender for best Weeping Angel story I’ve ever heard. And after a tease in Classic Doctors, New Monsters, we finally get Ray back!
Random Tangents: Nick and Benji come up with the name for a pub, The Crooked Putter, only to discover one already exists in Arizona. Benji becomes a bit obsessed with the menu, and Nick discovers sausage gravy.
